Songfacts®:

  • "Songs About You" finds Brett Eldredge stuck in the aftermath of a breakup. He tries to move on from the heartache but everywhere he goes a classic song reminds him of his old flame.
  • The songs that triggered Eldredge's memories are:

    Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing In The Dark" (He heard the song blasting out of a bar while walking past).

    Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" (Eldredge heard it in his local grocery store).

    Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" (During a date, the singer thought he was at last moving on until he heard this song playing).
  • Brett Eldredge wrote this laid-back, semi-soulful tune with Ben West (Pink's "Try," Lady A's "Be Patient With My Love") and Jessie Jo Dillon (Dan + Shay's "10,000 Hours," Cole Swindell's "Break Up In The End").

    "There are songs that just transport you back in time to a moment with someone you love," the Paris, Illinois native Eldredge shared of the track's concept. "Even though you've not been with the person for a long time, these songs take a hold of you. You might be having a fine day, then you walk into a store where the song is playing, and you're transported into the past."
